Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cream cheese
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup of chopped apples preferably Granny Smith
  • For the crisp topping:
  • 1 cup oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • For the caramel drizzle:
  • Store-bought caramel sauce or homemade, if you’re feeling adventurous

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C): Begin by getting your oven heated while you prepare the cheesecake mixture.
  • Prepare the crust: In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and sour cream. Beat until creamy and smooth. Add in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped apples.
  • Pour the mixture into a springform pan: Ensure that your springform pan is greased to prevent sticking. Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
  • Prepare the crisp topping: In a separate bowl, mix the oats, flour, brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the cheesecake layer.
  • Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the cheesecake is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  • Cool down: Once baked, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional 30 minutes. Then remove it from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating.
  • Add the finishing touches: Drizzle caramel sauce over your cheesecake before serving. Enjoy!
